No Longer A Teen

I have officially hung up my "teenager" hat. 20 doesn't feel much different from 19, which, in turn, didn't feel much different from 18. One more year until any and all age restrictions are done with (not to mention Vegas without having to worry as much). So what did the Chaparyan do to celebrate this momentous occasion? That's for him to know and you to hire a private investigator to find out.

Now I am sifting through resumes trying to decide who else to call in. Let me give you some resume advice. Make sure the Objective section matches exactly with what the employer is looking for. Don't write a preferred salary. Either it is going to be lower than that they had in mind and therefore will pay you your rate, or it will be higher than what they can afford and won't even call you in for an interview. Don't write stupid things like "got along with others" under achievements for college. Oh and show up for the interview. If you change your mind, call them and let them know you aren't coming. Be nice, don't want waste people's time [edit: thank you anonymous for the correction]!

Scientific research. Now there's a topic that pisses me off. Most of these studies are financed by companies, which means they start the research with the goal of proving their hypothesis correct. Even if there is no corporate or political backing (in the very few cases where that is true) the people conducting the research want to prove their hypothesis correct. It isn't human to be unbiased towards something you are spending night and day to discover. Any person will do their best to find evidence proving their cause, and turning a blind eye to everything else.

Ok, back to work.
